Brake Lines (A bend greater than 90 degrees?)

I put my engine back in the car the other day... I noticed that I had to bend the drivers side caliper aluminum brake line more than 90 degrees to get it to go into the ABS device. I was just curious if this could affect braking... Its probably a 130 degree turn.

Also just to verify.. The drivers side brake line runs up and connects to the ABS port closest to the inside (cabin) of the car while the passenger side brake line connects to the port thats closest to the Front (bumper) of the car right? Just making sure i didnt flip them.

The hydrolic fluid doesn't care if it goes around in circles first. Just be sure you haven't kinked the line.
